Michigan's Drive-In Theaters (Images of America)

Few American phenomena are more evocative of time, place, and culture than the drive-in theater. From its origins in the Great Depression, through its peak in the 1950s and 1960s and ultimately its slow demise in the 1980s, the drive-in holds a unique place in the countryâ€™s collective past. Michiganâ€™s drive-ins were a reflection of this time and place, ranging from tiny rural 200-car â€œozonersâ€ to sprawling 2,500-car behemoths that were masterpieces of showmanship, boasting not only movies and food, but playgrounds, pony rides, merry-go-rounds, and even roving window washers.
